Marketing Strategy Tips for Photographers and their companies
Tuesday, November 15th, 2011 /

The following tips are compiled with the intent of helping you with your marketing strategy regards you photography business. While these tips are focused on a photography business, the generalized information may be applied to all types of business.

You need to have an intriguing promotion speech. When you tell someone that you are a photographer what do you tell them?  Giving the person something that catches their attention and interest will cause them to want to look into you for more information. An example of this tacit is as follows; you tell someone “I am an event and wedding photographer!” This does not automatically warrant a need for more information. Rather you should day in more detail “I am an Event and wedding photographer that specializes in shooting in remote and unique settings such as: Hawaii the Rock Mountains and so on.”

Telling someone too much information is not always a bad thing. Peak their interest. Set yourself apart from the other 1.5 million photographers in the world. And lastly, be truthful. If you lie and set precedent that cannot be fulfilled you will not only lose their business, but the business they, may have referred to you.

Promise a glass of water and give the ocean. What I am trying to portray is that you need to promise your client very little and then wow them with a lot. Give the client more than they expected. By doing this, you will give the client a rewarding sensation that will cause the client to desire to give back. Make you clients experience with you and your company something extraordinary. Give them a reason to tell everyone they know about how amazing you are and why they should go only to you. If you do this and create a client for life, you will be doing yourself the biggest favor you can possibly imagine.

Anything you can do to get your name out; DO IT!!!!!!! Be it photo competitions, art shows, business cards, signs. ANYTHING WILL WORK. The key to a successful photography business is exposure. People cannot go if they do not know. Photo competitions, while being a great tool, are not the exclusive domain of fine art photographers. Commercial photographers can profit immensely just from their participation in these competitions. Showing you work in competitions can be a great way to get your art exposed and your name in people’s heads regardless of whether or not you win. Though winning will be a great tool as well.

Create a marketing habit and stick to it.  When it comes to marketing, in whatever form it takes, it will only improve the more you commit to it. Waiting until you have figured everything out is not the way to go. By the time you figure things out, it will be too late.  Just as with anything else in life, marketing is like trial and error; you will not know what work until you try.  Make a commitment to yourself to start marketing you work and services as much as possible. Make a plan as to what type of marketing you will be doing, stick to it, and log your results to review later. Remember, it takes time to learn things the right way. The people that do it over night, do not last a long time.

Do not be afraid to show yourself! Do not be shy about advertising for you work. You can do things like placing a sign on your car, creating small signs and flyers for distribution, rent bill board space! While any or all of these methods would work, I would recommend trying things and getting your name out there.  If you don’t get your name out into the public, you will never get business.

In the end, the success of the marketing methods chosen will be directly related to amount of time and effort you put into them. The key is to get your name in the mouths of as many people. Do this and you will be successful.

Top 10 Cinematographic Masterpieces
Monday, November 14th, 2011 /

10. American Beauty

American Beauty is a 1999 American drama film directed by Sam Mendes and written by Alan Ball. Kevin Spacey  stars as Lester Burnham, a middle-aged office worker who has a midlife crisis when he becomes infatuated with his teenage daughter’s best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari). Annette Bening co-stars as Lester’s materialistic wife, Carolyn, and Thora Birch plays their insecure daughter, Jane; Wes Bentley, Chris Cooper and Allison Janney also feature. The film has been described by academics as a satire of American middle class  notions of beauty and personal satisfaction; analysis has focused on the film’s explorations of romantic and paternal love, sexuality, beauty, materialism, self-liberation and redemption.  

Ball began writing American Beauty as a play in the early 1990s, partly inspired by the media circus around the Amy Fisher trial in 1992. He shelved the play after realizing the story would not work on the stage. After several years as a television screenwriter, Ball revived the idea in 1997 when attempting to break into the film industry. The modified script had a cynical outlook that was influenced by Ball’s frustrating tenures writing for several sitcoms.

Producers Dan Jinks and Bruce Cohen took American Beauty to DreamWorks; the fledgling film studio bought Ball’s script for $ 250,000, outbidding several other production bodies. DreamWorks financed the $ 15 million production and served as the North American distributor. American Beauty marked acclaimed theater director Mendes’ film debut; courted after his successful productions of the musicals Oliver! and Cabaret, Mendes was nevertheless only given the job after twenty others were considered and several “A-list” directors turned down the opportunity. -Wikipedia.org

9. Memoirs of a Geisha

Memoirs of a Geisha is a 2005 film adaptation of the novel of the same name, produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and Spyglass Entertainment and by Douglas Wick’s Red Wagon Productions. It was directed by Rob Marshall. It was released in the United States on December 9, 2005 by Columbia Pictures and DreamWorks. It stars Zhang Ziyi, Ken Watanabe, Gong Li, Michelle Yeoh, Youki Kudoh, and Suzuka Ohgo.

Ohgo plays the younger Sayuri in the movie, which was filmed in southern and northern California and in several locations in Kyoto, including the Kiyomizu temple and the Fushimi Inari shrine.  Memoirs of a Geisha tells the story of a young girl, Chiyo Sakamoto, who is sold into slavery by her family. Her new family then sends her off to school to become a geisha. This movie is mainly about older Chiyo and her struggle as a geisha to find love, in the process making a lot of enemies. -Wikipedia.org

8. The Godfather

The Godfather is a 1972 American gangster-drama film based on the novel of the same name by Mario Puzo and directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a screenplay by Puzo, Coppola, and Robert Towne (uncredited). It stars Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, Richard S. Castellano, Robert Duvall, Sterling Hayden, John Marley, Richard Conte and Diane Keaton, and features John Cazale, Talia Shire, Al Martino, and Abe Vigoda.

The story spans ten years from 1945 to 1955 and chronicles the fictional Italian American Corleone crime family. Two sequels followed: The Godfather Part II in 1974, and The Godfather Part III in 1990. The Godfather received Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay, and has been selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry. In addition, it is ranked third, behind Citizen Kane, and Casablanca on the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Movies list by the American Film Institute. It was moved up to second when the list was published again, in 2008. -Wikipedia.org

7. Morte a Venezia

Death in Venice is a 1971 film directed by Luchino Visconti and starring Dirk Bogarde and Björn Andrésen. The film is based on the novella Death in Venice by Thomas Mann. Film historian Lawrence J. Quirk wrote, in his study, The Great Romantic Films (1974), “Some shots of Björn Andrésen, the Tadzio of the film, could be extracted from the frame and hung on the walls of the Louvre or the Vatican in Rome.” He says Andrésen did not represent just a pretty youngster as an object of perverted lust, but that novelist Mann and director-screen writer Visconti intended him as a symbol of beauty in the realm of Michelangelo’s David or Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, the beauty that moved Dante to “…seek ultimate aesthetic catharsis in the distant figure of Beatrice.” -Wikipedia.org

6. Barry Lyndon

Barry Lyndon is a 1975 period film by Stanley Kubrick loosely based on the 1844 novel The Luck of Barry Lyndon by William Makepeace Thackeray. It recounts the exploits of a 18th century Irish adventurer, particularly his rise and fall in English society. Ryan O’Neal stars as the title character.  Although the film was only a modest commercial success at the time, and had a mixed critical reception, in recent years it has come to be regarded not only as one of Kubrick’s finest films, but also as a classic of world cinema.

It was part of Time magazine’s poll of the 100 best films as well as the Village Voice poll conducted in 1999 and was ranked #27 in Sight and Sound’s 2002 film critics poll. Director Martin Scorsese has cited Barry Lyndon as his favorite Kubrick film. Quotations from it appeared in such disparate works as Ridley Scott’s The Duellists, Martin Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence, Wes Anderson’s Rushmore and Lars von Trier’s Dogville. -Wikipedia.org

5. Ben-Hur

Ben-Hur (or Benhur) is a 1959 epic film directed by William Wyler, the third film version of Lew Wallace’s 1880 novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ. It premiered at Loew’s State Theatre in New York City on November 18, 1959. The film went on to win a record of eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, a feat equaled only by Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. It is is also the last film to win the Oscar for both Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, until nearly 44 years later when Mystic River achieved the same feat. The film’s prologue depicts the traditional story of the Nativity of Jesus Christ.  In AD 26, Prince Judah Ben-Hur (Charlton Heston) is a wealthy merchant in Jerusalem.

His childhood friend Messala (Stephen Boyd), now a military tribune, arrives as the new commanding officer of the Roman garrison. Ben-Hur and Messala are happy to reunite after years apart, but politics divide them; Messala believes in the glory of Rome and its imperial power, while Ben-Hur is devoted to his faith and the freedom of the Jewish people. Messala asks Ben-Hur for names of Jews who criticize the Roman government; Ben-Hur counsels his countrymen against rebellion but refuses to name names, and the two part in anger.  Ben-Hur, his mother Miriam (Martha Scott), and sister Tirzah (Cathy O’Donnell) welcome their loyal slave Simonides (Sam Jaffe) and his daughter Esther (Haya Harareet), who is preparing for an arranged marriage. Ben-Hur gives Esther her freedom as a wedding present, and the two realize they are attracted to each other. -Wikipedia.org

4. Apocalypse Now

Apocalypse Now is a 1979 American epic war film set during the Vietnam War. The plot revolves around two US Army special operations officers, one of whom, Captain Benjamin L. Willard (Martin Sheen) of MACV-SOG, is sent into the jungle to assassinate the other, the rogue and presumably insane Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) of Special Forces. The film was produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola from a script by Coppola and John Milius. The script is based on Joseph Conrad’s novella Heart of Darkness, and also draws elements from Michael Herr’s Dispatches, the film version of Conrad’s Lord Jim (which shares the same character of Marlow with Heart of Darkness), and Werner Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972).

The film became notorious in the entertainment press due to its lengthy and troubled production, as documented in Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse. Marlon Brando showed up to the set overweight and Martin Sheen suffered a heart attack. The production was also beset by extreme weather that destroyed several expensive sets. In addition, the release date of the film was delayed several times as Coppola struggled to come up with an ending and to edit the millions of feet of footage that he had shot. The film won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Drama. -Wikipedia.org

3. Wo Hu Cang Long

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a Chinese-language film in the wuxia martial arts style, released in 2000. A China-Hong Kong-Taiwan-United States co-production, the film was directed by Ang Lee and featured an international cast of ethnic Chinese actors, including Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Ziyi and Chang Chen.

The movie was based on the fourth novel in a pentalogy, known in China as the Crane-Iron Pentalogy, by wuxia novelist Wang Dulu. The martial arts and action sequences were choreographed by Yuen Wo Ping, well known for his work in The Matrix and other films.  Made on a mere US$ 17 million budget, with dialogue in Mandarin, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon became a surprise international success.

After its US premiere at the Hawaii International Film Festival, it grossed US$ 128 million in the United States alone, becoming the highest-grossing foreign-language film in American history. It has won over 40 awards. The film won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film (Taiwan) and three other Academy Awards, and was nominated for six other Academy Awards, including Best Picture. The film also won three BAFTAs and two Golden Globes, one for “Best Foreign Film” as well as additional nominations for ten BAFTAs including “Best Picture”. -Wikipedia.org

2. Schindler’s List

Schindler’s List is a 1993 American epic drama film about Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who saved the lives of more than a thousand Polish-Jewish refugees during the Holocaust by employing them in his factories. The film was directed by Steven Spielberg, and based on the novel Schindler’s Ark by Thomas Keneally. It stars Liam Neeson as Schindler, Ralph Fiennes as Schutzstaffel (SS) officer Amon Göth, and Ben Kingsley as Schindler’s Jewish accountant Itzhak Stern.  

The film was a box office success and recipient of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Score, as well as numerous other awards (7 BAFTAs, 3 Golden Globes). In 2007, the American Film Institute ranked the film 8th on its list of the 100 best American films of all time (up one position from its 9th place listing on the 1998 list). -Wikipedia.org

1. Shichinin No Samurai

Hawaii Wedding Videographer Discusses 3 Skills Event Planners Have
Friday, November 11th, 2011 /

There are many things in life that are very important to our self esteem and whether you actually know it or not there are actually plenty of characteristics that go along with owning an event planning business that may also be useful in real life as well. There are many aspects of the event planning professional’s personality that could benefit someone in their life apart from their event planning duties. Indeed, event planning skills are very important and here are some areas where the daily routine of an event planner may coincide with that of a regular individual.

Organization:

Many event planning professionals have some of the best organizational skills out of everyone in the business world and it seems as though their profession would even call for it. Just as an event planner has to stay organized in order to know which of their scheduled events is the next day and which is the next week, so too are there plenty of opportunities and room for improvement in many other people’s life when it comes to organization.

In fact, organization is one area in which many people struggle throughout their life. An event planning professional is a highly organized person and it is an important quality to emulate!

People Skills:

Many people may turn down the job of an event planner simply because they realize that it requires a great deal of people skills in order to succeed. However, the outgoing nature of someone who own an event planning business is very key to thriving in the industry in the first place. One needs to have the self-esteem in order to contact individuals about large events that need to be planned, and they also need the confidence with which to do their job.

On the other hand there are plenty of individuals who go throughout life with very low self-esteem, a low profile of self-worth and self-image, but these are areas that an event planner actually excels at!

Discipline and Control:

These two qualities are very important of anyone who owns and controls an event planning business. There are many different scenarios where an event planner may have to display their discipline and control, but these two characteristics of their personality should actually show through throughout their whole career. On the flip side, many non-event planners could take a lesson from the event planners in the industry simply because many people lack the discipline in order to get the things done that they need to have accomplished. Fostering that discipline within yourself, though, is one key to being a happier person altogether!

After everything is said and done, though, one can easily see where event planning skills are very crucial in everyday life for most people. Even though it’s unrealistic to think that most everyone should become an event planner just to be able to have these skills, as human beings we definitely should take a lesson from them!

Hawaii Weddings Performed In Maui Are Incredibly Popular
Thursday, November 10th, 2011 /

It isn’t a huge secret why Hawaii weddings are so popular with engaged couples. Hawaii weddings — and in particular beach weddings in Maui — are the most popular place for getaway weddings.

Each year thousands of couples fly to Maui so that they can enjoy a wedding on the tropical beaches of this pristine island.

To get the sense for why some wedding couples have selected Maui, its a excellent thought to talk straightforwardly to the engaged wedding couples themselves. Way back in December of 2000, a young Texan couple selected to come to Maui around Christmas and become hitched at a secret spot called “Makena Cove.”

Kevin and Alysia Berg really loved the setting of a twilight wedding on the beach at the cove. This young couple chose Maui because it seemed to be such a romantic place to begin their life together. As their wedding coordinator, Maui Me determined to perform the ceremony in a small patch of sand in a rocky outcropping that overlooks the beach and has waves crashing right behind the couple. The place gave them the sense of being out in nature, yet still in a isolated and romantic place.

You just have to question this young couple to unearth out how their Maui wedding made an impact upon their lives. They named both of their two daughters Hawaiian names after being married on Maui. For their firstborn, they chose the name Makena and for their second daughter, they chose the name Lani.

In their case, Kevin and Alysia liked Maui so much they determined to return to the island for their 10-year vow renewal.Reverend John Souter enjoyed the opportunity to both the Bergs in 2000 and then also to perform their renewal on December 23, exactly ten years apart.

“It’s not very often that you get an occasion to marry and officiate a renewal couple. In the 40 years I’ve been performing weddings, this is my first time.”

Susan Pieper has been coordinating Maui weddings for twelve years. If you would enjoy your own Wedding or vow renewal in Maui, you might feel like to give her a call toll free at 800-856-3270. Maui Me Weddings has several inexpensive Hawaii wedding packages to prefer from.

Tips For Newly Wed Couples
Saturday, November 05th, 2011 /

Don’t spend so much

You will need it for a home or rent after your honeymoon. You should have a great honeymoon but not so expensive. A trip to Hawaii, Europe, or Las Vegas is great.

Have your own place

You should live on your own if you don’t want cat’s fights from your family. It never works out if you vie with your parents or parents-in-law. It will never work out. You should move out and live on your own. You’re adults and you can take care of yourself. You have to learn how to be independent.

Prenuptuals agreement

If you have a lot of wealth and you’re not sure of your partner’s commitment down the road then it’s time to get a prenuptial agreement. It will save you tons of headaches. It’s not smart to go in without a prenuptual agreement.

Financial talks

You should talk about how you will pay the bills in the home. If you don’t talk about it, you will run into problems. You should also talk about how many children you will have and when you will be ready for them.

Live near your parents

If you live near your parents, they will help take care of your babies when you have them. It’s great to get some free help sometimes. You can visit them without having to drive across country.

Wedding in Hawaii: Private Homes and Palaces
Friday, November 04th, 2011 /

Every girl dreams to meet her prince and marry him at a royal palace. ‘lolani, Lanikuhonua, Ko ‘olina, Queen Emma Palace, private estates and homes are the best options to be considered for wedding in Hawaii.

‘lolani Palace
In United States, the one and only royal and majestic palace is the ‘lolani Palace in Honolulu. You can get a rented area for your wedding ceremony on the beautiful ground. However, you will need to follow certain rules because of the presence of an ancient gem and sacred place in the palace. Couples will require getting a license from the Hawaiian government. This whole process is time consuming and can consume your two weeks of time, so this should be the first and foremost thing once you decide the place. Palace gardens are so wide that most marriage ceremonies are held there. However, receptions are organised in the historic ‘lolani Barracks.

These are the open-air private courtyards. Since Galleries in the Palace are open and subjected for tours, your guests can always stroll around the place and view historic photographs, portraits, Hawaiian regalia and Hawaiian crown jewels. Your guests will be completely wooed by the whole atmosphere and facilities they can avail in ‘Iolani Palace.

Queen Emma Palace

Best Places For a Beach Wedding
Sunday, October 30th, 2011 /

Having a beach wedding is no doubt one of the more romantic settings you can choose to celebrate your special day. So which places are optimal for this event? Here are just a few places to whet your appetite.

Ogunquit, Maine

Ogunquit, which means “beautiful place by the sea”, offers a picturesque location for a beach wedding. Discovered by artists over a century ago, it was transformed into the breathtaking town it is today. It offers everything from seaside relaxation to intimate museums, art galleries and hikes in the mountains of Maine. You can host your wedding along the one and a quarter mile stretch of beach known as Marginal Way. They also offer a clambake cocktail hour and a feast of famous Maine lobster for dinner.

Kapalua Bay Beach, Maui, Hawaii

Hawaii is probably well known as the best place to go to for beach weddings. However, nothing beats Kapalua Bay with its reputation as being the best. Situated between two lava points which shapes the shore into a perfect crescent, it is an ideal setting for your wedding. The beach is well known for its tranquil surf and even though there are many sunbathers during the day, in the evening, the beach is usually cleared giving you that romantic setting needed for the perfect ceremony.

Makena Cove, Maui

This is rapidly becoming a favorite spot for many couples. With black lava rock, white-sand beach, turquoise water and fantastic views of Molokini and Kaho’olawe, Makena cove offers a beautiful backdrop for a beach wedding. Perfect at anytime of the day, it’s a great location for wonderful pictures and memories. However, parking is limited so make plans ahead of time before the big day.

Navarre Beach, Florida

This is Florida’s best kept secret! Located between Pensacola Beach and Destin, Navarre is a stretch of breathing and unspoiled beaches. It is more secluded than other beaches in Florida and can give you the privacy and romantic setting you’re looking for. Dazzling white sands and emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Santa Rosa Sound are your neighbors and don’t forget the great preservation areas that are excellent for hikes before or after the vows have been exchanged.

Vancouver Island – British Columbia

With so many wonderful beaches to choose from, it can be difficult selecting just one for your wedding. One such beach is Qualicum which spreads gently in front of a small pleasant town on the east side of the Island. There are numerable beachside pullouts and the air is filled with not just the tangy goodness of the salt from the sea, but the array of floral displays that makes it unique and special. If Qualicum is not your scene, you can always check out other beach sites like Spider Lake Provincial Park, Comox, Kye Bay, Seal Bay Regional Park, Campbell River, or one of the most popular beaches Long Beach. Whichever you decide, Vancouver offers a setting that is not only pleasing to the senses, but one that is sure to have you making a lot of memories that will last for a lifetime.
